After seven years, Europe is made anew. The empire of Charlemagne is reforged, while the empire of Kiev stretches from the White to the Black Seas. Across the Mediterranean, even including Christian Rome, Abbasid rulers have extended their influence. Britain, Ireland, and Scandinavia are brought into the realm of Denmark. Little pockets elsewhere exist, including the last vestiges of the Roman Empire in Ancona, Burgundy in the Balearic Islands, and Norway in Iceland. There is peace, at last, across Europe. War will come again, as it always does, but for now, the fallen dead are mourned while the living grow old in glory.

Thank you to all of you for participating in this game, and congratulations especially to Stanislav (France) and Jonas (Kiev/Slavs), who share in the victory. I admit this game could probably have gone a bit faster, and there was a spell when I made several errors which delayed things further, but it has been a pleasure to lead you on this Viking adventure!
